Repairs
Jewelry is inherently delicate, and that's part of its charm. I design my pieces to withstand your adventures and to be passed down to future generations. That said, jewelry is fragile and may become damaged over time due to heavy wear and tear, or even just a single big "oops" moment. In most cases, the customer must take responsibility for damage that occurs. That said, if you believe it is a quality issue, please immediately send me a message to discuss it.
Each circumstance is different, and I cannot guarantee a free-of-charge repair. Message me right away to discuss.

Materials and Process
All pieces are handmade from start to finish using traditional metalsmithing techniques.
My pieces are made using .925 or fine sterling silver unless otherwise stated.
All stones and gems are one-of-a-kind and ethically sourced. This means that I cannot make exact duplicates of any piece.
Stones will show wear over time; the amount and type of wear will differ with each stone (due to their porosity, age and strength)
Liver of sulfur, and Jax are used to darken and highlight.
No patina is permanent.
Jewelry Care
Fact: All sterling silver jewelry will tarnish.
Never wear your sterling silver jewelry in a hot springs or chlorine pool, when sanitizing your hands or preparing food or when using cleaning products or abrasives.
Store in a dry area - not your bathroom counter!
Many people store their sterling silver jewelry in sealed containers with an anti-tarnish tab (included in your purchase). These need to be replaced every six months or so, and are readily available online. Search "3M anti-tarnish tab" for replacements.
Periodically clean your jewelry with a polishing cloth (included in your purchase). Sometimes, polishing cloths can remove the patina that was intentionally applied to highlight details - only polish the areas that you want shiny again. Please note, no patina is permanent.
Turquoise and Variscite are stunning, but they are a bit softer than other stones. Please take care and be gentle with your gems. These beauties are naturally porous and can subtly change color over time as they absorb the natural oils produced by your skin and hair. This makes your jewelry uniquely yours!
